I prefer browsing by RSS feed. I can get a sorted-by-new RSS feed of any Lemmy community easily, and it is very useful. However, if I click through a post because I am interested, it takes me to that community’s instance, which means I am not logged in to their instance (because I am logged in only to SDF). Hence I cannot easily comment.

To solve this, I need to go back to our SDF instance, find the external community through our portal, then re-find the post I found interesting. This makes me a much more passive consumer of Lemmy content, which isn’t bad in a lot of ways, but ya know, sometimes I want to contribute a little comment here and there.

Anyone know of a way around this?

I could stop using RSS, but RSS is too powerful a part of my Internet consumption workflow to give up now.

    Thanks for the great tip about using the monolithic “Subscribed” feed. Downside is that more firehose-style communities like Memes will flood it. RSS is nice for the slower communities with posts to read. I guess I could unsub from the firehose communities - not like memes add much of value to my life in the end.
